Ukraine Joins Global Initiative to Combat Nuclear Terrorism


The Government of Ukraine has announced its intention to become a partner
nation of the 14-member Global Initiative to Combat Nuclear Terrorism (Global
Initiative).

At the February 12-13, 2007 meeting of the Global Initiative in Ankara, Turkey,
partner nations emphasized the importance of broadening the initiative to
include nations committed to combating nuclear terrorism, who endorse the
Statement of Principles, and are willing to contribute to the activities of the
Initiative. Ukraine is the first such nation to state its commitment to the
goals of the Global Initiative and its intention to participate in its
activities. All current and future partner nations are encouraged to include
new partner nations in their activities, upon receipt of their written
endorsement of the Statement of Principles by the U.S. and/or Russia.

Ukraine and all other current and future partner nations will meet again in
Kazakhstan in June 2007 to review the progress of Global Initiative activities,
to take specific steps to address gaps in implementation, and to welcome new
partner nations whose endorsements have been received by the U.S. and/or Russia
prior to the meeting.
